Other than that: Generally speaking, to bring CoD up to at least 1946 level in terms of immersion. Yes, 'up' to that years-old simulation. Proper briefing screens, proper debriefing screens, Dynamic Campaigns (!) and ranks and awards. The current 'Campaign' system sucks big time, imo... it's just single missions, played after each other. You won't win a Victoria Cross with that... sigh

But I fear these won't come for a long time

The points received by recce pilot could be connected to the number of photos he takes. The more photos he takes the more credit he gets. Of course to take a photo a key has to be pressed but in order to stay realistic a recce pilot can only make a certain amount of photos per minute so there must be a delay between two photos taken. Now the pilot can decide to turn home with few photos but safe or take the risk to stay longer in the area and make more photos. Should be cool me thinks.

Separate definable left and right rudder axis option. In the flight sim community there are lots of crossover folk who also like motor racing sims. Many of these people have car pedal sets which could be utilized using accelerator for right rudder and clutch/brake for left rudder. I use The Saitek combat rudder pedals at home but when am staying at the folks place on holidays only have the car racing pedals which currently cant be defined because both rudders are on a single axis.

Option in full mission builder to change formation of AI groups at different waypoints. At the moment it appears you can only set for the entire mission. (unless I missed the setting,then please forgive me)

Can you give an example?

I don't care about points at all... the thing is that it's got to be useful for your team. Recon shots about flak location/density, about things to bomb or about significant ground movements (again for targeting purposes) would be great! Ground movement would be more or less constricted to the continent, pre-french capitulation, however, in order to stay within a reasonable frame
Also, in 1940, there were no digicams. The film had to be advanced (which takes a few seconds) and you didn't have capacity for thousands of photos - more on the order of 10-30. The time needed to stay in the hot zone would balance itself out, imo.
But yeah, I'd love to zip around at treetop level and having an eye on the enemy! That would definately be one of my favourite jobs!

Track-IR working in first-person view when you bail out would be nice.
